FM Conway ESG Ratings Report 2021

Overview At FM Conway look to meet our Environmental, Social and Governance responsibilities comprehensively; we seek transparency in all reporting requirements of the UK regulations, reflecting not only the legislative aspect but also the intent. For example, issues raised by Gender Pay Gap reports on the disparity in the number of females working in the industry has inspired us to pilot female only work experience, increase the percentage of female apprentices, and during COVID-19, FM Conway’s support of the Government’s Kickstart initiative has seen 60% of Kickstart recruits being female. Similarly, in environmental legislation, in addition to meeting all the reporting requirements, our new innovations and opportunities seek not just to meet regulations, but to increase the speed of our improvement and progress wherever possible. This is in part explained by our history; while many companies are having to try and implement a new culture into their operations to meet the new environmental and social landscape, at FM Conway it is simply a case of building on what already exists. Our track record on recycling, investing in greener technologies, and a spirit of innovation have been central to the company’s growth and success. Our United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS) accredited Technology Centre is at the heart of FM Conway’s materials innovation, and the drive to ‘find a better way’ is also central to Conway’s ambition to be ‘net zero carbon’ 5 years ahead of the Government’s target. Our constant research into ‘greener’ product solutions has already placed the company at the forefront of ‘green’ infrastructure. Recognition as “one of the greenest road-working companies in the whole of the world” by the Prime Minister Boris Johnson, is a significant recent accolade. We have developed and championed an ‘eco’ product range of paving solutions and services to reduce carbon for customers, and internally FM Conway is taking a pro-active approach to reducing carbon, with HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oils) fuel trials, green electricity, and the appointment of a Carbon Manager all supporting our proactive approach to carbon reduction. FM Conway is equally committed to the social aspects of our performance. We have introduced an industry leading approach to health and safety (named the Big Ten in 10), seeking to eliminate operational risks by engineering them out of high-risk processes, as opposed to depending on people’s behaviours and have introduced both an Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) Strategy and a Mentally Healthy Together Programme, both of which look to further promote an inclusive and supportive working environment. Central to our community engagement is the Conway Charitable Foundation which has donated over £500,000 to the communities in which we operate, since its inception in 2013. FM Conway is championing approaches to support the ‘Build Back Better’ campaign and the ‘Green Revolution’ promised for the UK economy, pro-actively addressing the environmental and social challenges we all face. Methodology We have structured this review of our ESG activities against the London Stock Exchange Guidance (LSEG) on reporting ESG performance. Further information can be found in our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) report, Sustainability Strategy and on our website.
